Tom,
Sorry to hear about the passing of your grandma. Comfort to you and your family during this difficult time.
I am so very sorry for your loss. Opal was such a wonderful, loving person who had one of the sweetest smiles I have ever seen. As one of her caregivers, it was a joy and a privilege to have her in my life for two years. . Please know that my thoughts and prayers go out to all of your family,.
To the Entire Jones Family,
I was deeply saddened to hear of Opal’s passing. My mother and father , Mary and John Gedeon, spent countless happy wonderful hours with Tom and Opal. My parents met Tom and Opal when the Jones moved to Greenville and they certainly cherished their friendship with Tom and Opal. They especially enjoyed spending time with Tom and Opal’s children and grandchildren whenever they came to visit. Opal will be remembered as a very dear friend. May she rest in peace in her heavenly home and may God bless her family with peace and strength.
To Terry and Elizabeth,
I am very sorry to hear of your Mom,s (Grandma,s) passing. She will be kept in our prayers.
